Any person, firm, or corporation, violating any of the provisions of this Code, shall be fined according to the following fee schedule. If the non-compliance violation is not remedied within the time given by the Zoning Inspector, failure to remedy said violation will result in a subsequent notice of non-compliance with increased penalties as listed in this section. If the non- compliance violation is not remedied after a fourth notice of non-compliance has been issued, the person, firm, or corporation shall be found to be in violation of the zoning ordinance, a misdemeanor of the first degree and the offense shall be deemed a strict liability offense. This does not preclude the issuance of fees on the fifth and subsequent violations.
